14th September 2009, 9:09am

Pub operator JD Wetherspoon is introducing a number of new drinks across its estate this week (Thursday September 17).

Tuborg and Carlsberg will be available on draught and Lucky, a lager brewed and bottled in China, will be sold in Wetherspoon pubs for the first time.

The pub chain is also highlighting its commitment to cider by offering Marcle Hill Cider (traditional still cider from Westons of Herefordshire) on draught. It will join Wetherspoon's established cider brands; Bulmers, Magners (apple or pear), Westons Organic, Westons Perry, Jacques and Koppaberg.

Frank's Alcoholic Ginger Beer (from the makers of Koppaberg) will be sold exclusively in Wetherspoon pubs, and Crabbie's alchoholic ginger beer will also be on offer.

Monster (the number one energy drink in the USA), together with a lo-carb option will also be available.

The company's spirits range is boosted by the introduction of Buffalo Trace Bourbon, described as "one of the world's great whiskies", by Whisky Bible author Jim Murray.

Meanwhile three new soft drinks from Hartridge's, Ginger Beer, Cloudy Lemonade and Root Beer will be available for the first time and two new wines are being added to the range of drinks; Hardys Private Bin Chardonnay and Hardys Private Bin Shiraz.

On the wine front, Wetherspoon is adding a 125ml glass for customers, alongside its established 175ml and 250ml glasses.

Wetherspoon's marketing and catering director Rebecca Payton said: "We are confident that our range of new drinks will enhance an already excellent choice of drinks available in Wetherspoon pubs. We continually strive to offer our customers the widest and most interesting choice of drinks."
